Hi, I checked the FAQ and it didn't solve my issue (well, not really an issue, more of a curiosity): my post count has gone DOWN. I just don't understand how this happened. One day my post count was 10 and now it's 9. Sorry for troubling you, I know I can ramble on a bit.

In training for lv.100:
I don't really do competitive battling, I just like training random stuff.

There are two reasons..

I don't have full access, but do you remember deleting a message? I know you did at least one.

@Waterlover711, you can change that by increasing your postcount. It's not 100% up-to-date, but this post should give you all the info you need. Be aware than moderators, super moderators, and administrators all have their own userbars which never change as long as they remain on the staff.

Every time you post, your Number of posts increases. However, there is also a second list that records how many posts you make in certain forums. This is your Post Count. There are several forums where the Post Count is turned off. While any replies or topics you make there are added to your Number of Posts, they are not added to your Post Count. It is the Post Count alone that changes your User Rank.

The forums where the Post Count is off are marked on the main forum page with the line

Posts Do Not Count Towards Postcount

This is because the forums in question earn a large number of posts that are often short. The full list of forums where Posts do not count is listed here:

Moderator User Ranks

Moderators will be explained in more detail later, but this is a brief outline of what User Ranks appear beneath a Mod’s name.

Moderator+s can do the same things like mods, but they can also ban members and edit their sigs in the forums they moderate.

Super Moderators can do the same things a mod+ can in every forum.

Administrators can do everything here: edit the forums, edit the members, create styles and a lot of other stuff. Not to mention the usual closing and banning.

Custom User Titles

When you join, your User Title reads the same as your rank, as shown above. However, you can change your title to read whatever you want. To change your User Title, first enter your User CP and select Edit Profile. Scroll down until you find a box that looks like this:

Now you can write whatever you want into the box (Within reason - Don’t be offensive) and then just Save Changes at the bottom of the page. User Titles can be a maximum of 20 characters long including spaces and punctuation.

If at any time you want to return to the default title; i.e. the one that comes with your rank image; then tick the Reset button before Saving, and your rank title will be restored.

To see your new rank in action, just check out any posts you’ve made, or view your own profile.

Ok, thanks for the answers! And also, another question. Does anyone know the reason for the Mod+ not exsiting anymore? Sorry if I sound n00b-ish.

It was just unnecessary, really.

Tried to find the answer in FAQs and such but not sure whether this constitutes repeat posting:

If I am looking for a particular pokemon in a trade (say Blissey), is it encouraged/acceptable/frowned upon to post in several (10-15) pokemon families' threads offering them (of course in the proper detailed manner) for Blissey?

generally, nope. if other clans are being approved then your one probably wasn't. if you have waited a long time (as in longer than a couple of days which is when most people start asking questions afaik) then you could pm a mod of the section and politely ask about your clan.

Thanks in advance.

nah it's fine as long as you're not linking anything inappropriate like pornography.

If not, what is the best protocol in this situation?

I think the best thing to do would be to put a post in the blissey thread saying you need one and show what you have to offer.
